Description
The aim of the interuniversity doctoral programme in Business Administration and Management is to foster, develop and provide a framework for research in fields of business administration and management at the participating universities. As in all doctoral programmes, one of the objectives is to enable students to train as researchers by producing a doctoral thesis.
In the course of their training on the programme, doctoral students must:
- acquire advanced knowledge at the frontier of their discipline and demonstrate, in the context of internationally recognised scientific research in the field of business administration and management, a deep, detailed and well-grounded understanding of theoretical and practical issues and scientific methodology in one or more research fields;
- make an original and significant contribution to scientific research in the field of business administration and management that is recognised as such by the international scientific community;
- design a research project, involving critical analysis and assessment of imprecise situations, in which they can apply their contributions, expertise and working method in a way that allows the scientific community in business administration and management to advance its knowledge of the research context in which they work;
- develop sufficient autonomy to set up, manage and lead innovative research teams and projects and scientific collaborations (both national and international) within their subject area, in multidisciplinary contexts and, where appropriate, with a substantial element of knowledge transfer;
- carry out their research activity in a socially responsible manner and with scientific integrity;
- participate in scientific discussions at the international level in their field of expertise and disseminate the results of their research activity to audiences of all kinds;
- make cultural, social or technological advances within their specific scientific context and promote innovation in all areas within a knowledge-based society.
